The Literary Assassin: fun with racial slurs
http://theliteraryassassin.blogspot.com/2015/01/fun-with-racial-slurs.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. Fun with racial slurs. At my last writer's meeting somebody questioned my use of the racial slur "cracker," so I got curious and did some new digging; new resources crop up all the time. I knew 'cracker' was pre-Civil War but didn't know it was pre-Revolution. A/k/a the most wonderful writer's resource ever:. Southern U.S. derogatory term for "poor, white trash" (1766), probably an agent noun from crack. Also, the less well-known and southern-specific "buckra". Once again, I'm s...

The Literary Assassin: 05/01/2014 - 06/01/2014
http://theliteraryassassin.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. ConQuest, Stalkers, and #YesAllWomen. I was probably going to write this anyway, but all this #YesAllWomen kerfuffle has made it particularly relevant. I hadn't thought too much about what he would do if he DID show up to my reading; I figured if the room was full I'd just ignore him. But when he walked in, in the middle of my second paragraph, there were only two people in the room, and the Tao decreed I was not going to put up with him, sitting in there and sucking off my qi.

The Literary Assassin: 07/01/2014 - 08/01/2014
http://theliteraryassassin.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 07, 2014. A scream in the night. I woke up last night around 3 am and had to pee. This is a fairly common occurrence, and I took care of it without difficulty. I should mention: we live in a 100-year-old house in which the bathroom is a tiny closet off the kitchen; its door faces the exterior back door, and is next to the bedroom. As I came out of the bathroom, in the pitch dark, I heard a sound that literally. Did I go for a weapon? I couldn't answer any of those questions until I knew what...

The Literary Assassin: on writer's block: the issue of flow
http://theliteraryassassin.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-writers-block-issue-of-flow.html
Tuesday, September 02, 2014. On writer's block: the issue of flow. Back in my Critters.org days I used to roll my eyes when people said my writing "flowed" well. Because it's a fairly non-specific comment I was never sure what they meant; I thought it was one of those comments like, "It makes you think! That really mean nothing at all and was just something that unschooled critters would say to have something to say. I can still write grammatical sentences that convey meaning, but the organic quality, th...
